Kylie Jenner’s Instagram: A Comprehensive History

Since *Keeping Up with the Kardashians * debuted in 2007, we’ve seen the Kardashian-Jenners go from a (relatively) normal squad of siblings squabbling and getting up to silly hijinks in every episode to arguably one of the most influential families in the world. With a famous rapper as a son-in-law, a supermodel sister, and a last name that even your grandma would recognize, it's clear that this is no ordinary Calabasas family.

The youngest member, Kylie, has grown up a lot since the show's debut. It's understandable and even expected: she was just a kid when its first episode aired. However, Kylie soon learned how to control her own image in front of another kind of camera — the one on social media, and particularly through Instagram. There’s no denying that Kylie’s use of the platform has elevated both of them as the years have gone by. She basically built her entire cosmetics brand on Instagram, and look how successful that has been.

Through the lens of her Instagram account, we get to learn a little more about what it’s like to be a very, very famous teenager. Instagram gives celebrities the opportunity to tell their own stories, and in the nearly five years Kylie’s been a part of it, a lot has changed. Let’s take a trip down memory lane from her very first post and see just how much our favorite young mogul has evolved.

This is the era when Kylie really established herself as a beauty force to be reckoned with. Raise your hand if you wanted teal tips after seeing this post. (raises hand)

Remember the episode of *KUWTK * when Kim is jealous of Kylie’s Tumblr-iffic style? This photo encapsulates that whole moment, as do most of Kylie’s posts from 2013-2014. (Seriously, Kylie’s Tumblr period is a story of its own.)
